As one human being to another, I feel sorry for them. Who knows what roads took them to making the greedy and stupid decision to try and carry drugs over the border. They look like beautiful young girls. What a shame they made such a stupid decision.

Don't know about this case, but a lot of people (particularly in the developing world) are coerced into smuggling drugs. They do it for minimal pay in return for the drug barons protecting their family.

Sentences for 'drugs mules' in the UK used to be extremely harsh - comfortably into double figures.

Last year, the policy was changed. The government recognising that the smugglers are usually bottom of the chain. I think this was a good move.

Don't know about these girls, but the number of drug smugglers who are coerced is shockingly high, and often they are told their children or other family will be harmed if they don't do it. It can be really dangerous too, if a condom full of cocaine bursts inside you you will die, so they are risking their own lives to try to protect their children. So to say you don't feel sympathy for any drug smuggling women, YABU.
